People often ask me about recommended places for sushi in Tokyo.
If they are after a top-notch experience they better check the Michelin guide, but for some bang-for-the-buck without luxury but with variety and freshness, I can recommend Katumidori the kaiten sushi of sushi midori - that translates literally to green sushi. There are many branches, but most likely the one in Yokohama or in Seibu Shibuya A (gourmet zone located at floor 8 of mall A), here is the map to an Italian restaurant in the same floor as I just realized that Google Maps pin for Katumidori was WRONGLY marked.
I'm not a foodie, but this place always makes it into the stops whenever I return to Tokyo. This time was more special because of being the first time for us to come back together since 2014, of course we booked time for a lunch here!
The ordering system is simple and straightforward:
- Pick from the belt (kaiten)
- Pick with iPad (easy picture menu) and get your order by waiter if you are in counter sit or by cute-train if you are in table
Omelette and tuna
The aburi (meaning cooked) tuna trio - with different levels of marbled fat.
If you are unsure about your budget, check the color of the plates on the belt, still the cheapest is 0.8EUR and the most expensive 3.2EUR - probably much cheaper than back home anyhow.
My absolute favourite - anago.
Plus some roll-why-not?
Chefs are tirelessly working and sometimes killing some live fish. It is quite charming in its noisiness.
Final step, an RFID reader is used across the plates to determine your bill! Sleek!
